PRIMARY STUDY
Non-psychotropic Cannabis sativa L. phytocomplex modulates microglial inflammatory response through CB2 receptors-, endocannabinoids-, and NF-κB-mediated signaling
Key Findings: The phytocomplex of Cannabis Sativa extract showed significantly more anti-inflammatory activity in activated microglial cells than isolated cannabidiol (CBD) and β-caryophyllene (CAR) at the same concentration. This study could lead to promising therapeutics in reducing neuroinflammatory and related diseases.
